ZoeMovieReviews: The Pit & The Pendulum


The Pit and the Pendulum

 












This is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in 1842 in the literary annual The Gift: A Christmas and New Year's Present for 1843. This is also a 1961 film.



The Plot

In the 16th century, Francis Barnard travels to Spain to clarify the strange circumstances of his sister's death after she had married the son of a cruel Spanish Inquisitor.

 







This film is really good. Not expecting this to be good at all. Well, I really enjoyed this.



The acting was great and the score was amazing. The costumes were really great.

 











Vincent Price was great in this as well. The castle is very spooky and eerie.  I really liked the ending to this.



Overall this was a great fun spooky castle film. It is really good. Highly recommend it.



Rating: 8/10

ZoeMovieReviews: Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead

Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead   This films name in Norwegian is Død Snø 2 .   This is a 2014 Norwegian-Icelandic horror comedy film directed by Tommy Wirkola. It is a sequel to the 2009 film Dead Snow .   The Plot Martin woke up in a hospital bed with a new arm - but it's a super-powered Zombie arm that wants to kill him, and anyone else it can reach. Martin's PISSED, but with the help of his new Zombie Squad chums he's going to deliver some payback to Colonel Herzog and his precious Nazi gold - by raising an undead army of his own.   This film is so great!! I have seen the first one which I thought was brilliant. It is probably best for anyone who’s interested in this film that they should watch Dead Snow (D ød Snø) as well. Although, the first few scenes of the film is that it’s reminding you some of things that happened in the first film. That I liked, as it gave me an idea of what happened from the first film as I only watc...

The score is very good as well. My favourite song from it was Under The Sea!   The story telling to this film is great! I liked how in some scenes the characters show actual emotion when they are sad or happy. I liked the characters apart from Ursula of course. My favourite character is Sebastian who is the red crab not lobster!   I do have a few favourite scenes from this film. The scenes whe...
